Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Intro]
Well, I don't get it, 'cause it says it's 4 for 4 dollars
No one said anything about ""tax""
I have 4 dollars!
Fuck this shit, I'm leaving

[Hook]
Change up in my hand no I do not have no bands bitch I’m broke (Bitch, I'm- I'm so broke)

Can’t even afford to put gas in the car so I stay home (I don't even- I don't have a car)
Change up in my hand no I do not have no bands bitch I’m broke (Bitch, I'm broke, bitch I'm- broke broke)
Can’t even afford to put gas in the car so I stay home (I stay home, I'm staying here)

[Verse]
Bitch I got no racks, pretty sure that I’m in debt
Had no quarters for the dryer, so the pants I got on wet
All my diamonds, yeah, they’re fake, so there’s green all on my neck
Took my mamas EBT, oh boy, was she upset

Told these hoes stop calling, got no minutes on my phone
No, I can’t afford no Gucci, you know Febreeze my Cologne
No, I do not have no Benjis, Abraham is all I know
Says eviction on my door, I said mom I’m coming home!

I like going to the store just so I can look, but I never buy shit
So they always kick me out
Bank account is dry as hell, yeah, my pockets in a drought
I said please give me some change, I tell hobos help me out
Oh my goodness!

[Bridge]
I'm so broke
Oh, we still recording?

[Hook]
Change up in my hand no I do not have no bands bitch I’m broke (It's not funny anymore, I'm like, really broke)
Can’t even afford to put gas in the car so I stay home (I'm staying home, I'm really staying home)
Change up in my hand, no, I do not have no bands bitch I’m broke (Bitch I'm so broke)
Can’t even afford to put gas in the car so I stay home

[Outro]
I'm staying home, so if you want to come over at home
Because my car- I don't have a car, It's not even a car for me to put gas in, I don't even know why I'm lying
Um, but I'm home, I'm here
If you want to visit me just bring me some money so I can eat something that would be much appreciated

Um, I don’t know, thanks anyway
Bye

Overall Meaning

The song "Broke" by PepSparks speaks about the struggles of living with financial insecurity. The lyrics express the frustration and limitations of not having enough money to buy basic necessities such as food and gas. The opening lines of the song describe a situation where the rapper thought he had enough money to pay for something but was caught off guard with unexpected taxes, which then causes him to leave in anger.

The hook of the song repeats the phrase "Change up in my hand, no I do not have no bands, bitch I’m broke" which means that the singer only has a handful of coins and no stacks of cash to count. He then continues to describe how he cannot even afford gas for his car, so he is forced to stay home with no other options.

In the first verse, PepSparks admits that he owes money and that he has no clothes dryer, so he had to wear wet pants. He also confesses that his jewelry is fake, but he wears it anyway to give off the impression of being rich. In an ironic twist, he uses his mother's EBT, a card that allows low-income families to purchase food, which makes the mother feel upset. The rapper then talks about his inability to call anybody since his phone runs out of minutes, and he cannot afford designer brands like Gucci, so he uses Febreeze as cologne.

In the second verse, he talks about admiring things in the store but being unable to afford anything, so he always gets kicked out. The bank account is dry, and pockets are in a drought, which gives a sense of helplessness. PepSparks pleads to hobos for change, indicating his desperation for money.

Overall, the lyrics in the song "Broke" express the financial struggles that many people face every day, and it highlights the importance of being financially secure.
